Little Child Falls in Pot of Boiling Fats

Columbia, S.C., Dec. 4—Ealine Boone, aged four, died at a local hospital last night from burns suffered when she fell into a pot of grease near Gaston, a few miles from here. The little girl was playing in a neighbor’s yard while her parents were assisting the neighbors in killing some hogs, when she lost her balance and fell backward into the pot of boiling fats.
